The third phase, which will be conducted over the next four weeks, may include up to 10 days of OTA workouts. All coaches are permitted on the field and players may wear helmets, but one-on-one drills involving the offense and defense are not allowed.

The Bears will conduct their OTAs this Tuesday through Thursday, May 29-31 and June 4-7 before concluding their offseason program with a mandatory full squad minicamp June 12-14.

During the first phase of the offseason program, which began April 16 and lasted two weeks, activities were limited to strength and conditioning and physical rehab, with only strength and conditioning coaches allowed on the field with players. Helmets were prohibited, and footballs were permitted on the field only for quarterbacks throwing to receivers provided they were not covered by defenders.

In the second phase, which started April 30 and lasted three weeks, all coaches were allowed on the field. Workouts could include individual player instruction and drills, but helmets and drills pitting the offense against the defense were prohibited.
